Overview
In The Box, 13 ordinary Swedes are each locked inside their own box, which is transported to a new location every day. When the doors open, a challenge begins. What is it about? That’s something they have to figure out for themselves. But to stay in the game for a prize of half a million kronor, they have to do it quickly—and there is always more than one way to solve the task. Back at the base, the game continues around the clock, and anything can happen.
